Planned water shut downs
Dunlop Crescent, Te Aroha

We will be shutting off water supply to Dunlop Crescent in Te Aroha from 9am-12pm on Wednesday 13 August so that we can repair a fire hydrant. Please make alternative arrangements for essential water use during this time. Please leave taps turned off in case water is returned earlier than expected. If water is cloudy when the supply returns, run an outdoor tap for a couple of minutes to clear any air bubbles.

Water supply work
Allen Street and Allendale Place, Morrinsville

We will be working on the water supply along Allen Street, Morrinsville (between Strathmore Street and Allendale Place) for a 5 week period from Wednesday 16 July to Friday 22 August. Please co-operate with all signage and requests/directions from our site personnel.

Lockerbie Water Treatment Plant testing, Morrinsville

We'll soon be conducting stage two testing of the Lockerbie Water Treatment Plant. You may notice our teams out and about in Morrinsville flushing hydrants to manage water pressure and clarity. Cloudy water is normal and usually clears after running an outside tap. If water is discoloured or stops flowing, or if you notice a leak or water pooling where it shouldn't, please give us a call or log an Antenno. We'll update once dates are confirmed.

Water valve testing, ongoing around the district.

We are exercising water valves around the district to ensure they're working properly - this is an important part of maintaining our water network as it helps us identify issues early. This process may dislodge sediment and it's possible some properties may experience "dirty water".

If you notice dirty water, we recommend turning on an outside tap for a few minutes to flush through any sediment or air bubbles, which may cause discolouration to the water. If that does not solve the issue, please contact us 0800 746 467. Thank you for your patience.
